The winds were whispering low.
and the sentinel stars had set their
watches, if they have any to set, up
in the skyes, as Mrs. Tomly leaned
from her chamber window, and asked
in low, trembling voice:
els that you, Henry?"
Now it is a popularity of Mr.. Tom
ly that when under the influence he
has great difficulty in finding his
home. He has once been arrested as
a burglar, and several times kicked
out, so when he heard the female
voice say, us that you Henryf" he
said
"Fore l ansher that question I'd
like ter know if that's you Sarah"
holding on to the front gate and leer-
ing up at Sarah's chamber window.
"Why certainly, Henry, it is me-
"Is this the corner of Austin ave-
nue. and B street ?"
why of course it is, Henry"
"Then" said Henry Indignantly, as
he swayed up against the fence, "of
course it's me. What yer ask fool
questions for Don't you know your
